The kernel uses `-include` to include include/linux/compiler_types.h
into all translation units (see scripts/Makefile.lib), which #includes
compiler_attributes.h.
arch/powerpc/boot/ uses different compiler flags from the rest of the
kernel. As such, it doesn't contain the definitions from these headers,
and redefines a few that it needs.
For the purpose of enabling -Wimplicit-fallthrough for ppc, include
compiler_attributes.h via `-include`.
It was also noted in 6a9dc5fd61 that we could -D__KERNEL__ and
-include compiler_types.h like the main kernel does, though testing that
produces a whole sea of warnings to cleanup. This approach is minimally
invasive. And it also helps to entice a cleanup.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
